Real estate is mostly about potential. The potential home, business or investment. In many cases these potential places begin with a vision and end with remarkable real estate. The truth is not every property comes turnkey. It takes a visionary to look past the aesthetic flaws and see what a property can become. Philadelphia is teeming with these such buildings including abandoned buildings with one-of-a-kind architecture and views that are waiting for a potential buyer.

If you been around town the last decade or so then you have witnessed first hand just how much a building can be transformed when in the proper hands. From warehouses to churches to residential buildings, Philadelphia is a testament on just how real estate development creates new life for structures.
